MURDERLUST

Donald M. Jones,
USA,
1985, Severin Films

“Kind of like an even cheaper, stealthier MANIAC, so much more devoted to the quotidian banalities of this psycho; thrill as he struggles to maintain a job, begin a relationship, pay the rent. An almost procedural catalog of the ways in which predators rely on the normalization of misogyny and assaultive behavior. Ugly in the best way.” -- Matt Lynch, Letterboxd

From enigmatic director Donald M. Jones comes one of the most disturbing -- and rarely seen -- serial killer sagas of the ‘80s. By day, mild-mannered Steve Belmont (Eli Rich, THE JIGSAW MURDERS) is a clean-cut teacher and youth counselor at his Los Angeles church. But by night, he’s a sexual psychopath who murders prostitutes and dumps their bodies in the Mojave Desert. Ashley St. Jon (TAKIN’ IT OFF) co-stars in this “overlooked and effective” (Horrorpedia) chiller, now uncut for the first time ever!
